Three people were arrested Monday after deputies found what they say was a methamphetamine lab at a home in Boiling Springs.

Dean Troy Stevens Jr., 27, of 608 Clovelly Court, Boiling Springs, and Donald Dewayne Rice, 26, and Amber Michelle Rice, 19, both of 820 Hospitality Drive, Room 137, Spartanburg, have all been charged by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office with trafficking methamphetamine 100 grams or more but less than 200 grams, arrest warrants state.

According to an incident report, deputies responded to the Clovelly Court home on Monday because of a disturbance call, but no one came to the door when they arrived.

Later on Monday, deputies responded again because they had received information that there was a meth lab in the home, the report states.

Deputies found numerous ingredients and containers used in making methamphetamine, along with diapers, a pacifier and other child-related items in a trash can in the home. Investigators also found about 120 grams of a substance believed to be meth, the report states.

Stevens told investigators that he lived at the home with his girlfriend and her children but they were not present when officers were searching the home.

All remained at the Spartanburg County jail on Tuesday. Stevens' bond is $45,000, and Donald Rice's is $40,000. Amber Rice also was charged with a bench warrant related to a shoplifting charge, and her bond has been set at $40,850.
